Vietnam discovers 30,000-phone "farm" used to fake user activity to obtain project airdrops

According to Cointelegraph, Corey Wilton, CEO of Mirai Labs, recently revealed a large-scale "phone farm" located near Ho Chi Minh City. This facility has approximately 30,000 smartphones dedicated to manipulating cryptocurrency airdrop campaigns. These devices are equipped with independent SIM cards and device fingerprints, and can spoof IP addresses, making them difficult to detect. The "farm's" main business is manufacturing and selling DIY phone farm equipment, producing over 1,000 dedicated phones per week, and packaging them into "farm boxes" of about 20 phones each for sale to international customers. These devices are used to fake user activity and grab reward tokens originally intended for genuine early users. [Foresight News]
